The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've had a pretty average time at Grand Haven High School. I've enjoyed the variety of English electives I've been able to take and all the teachers in those electives.

There are a lot of options regarding extracurriculars but there is so much lacking in terms of diversity. I don't feel as though my school prepared me well for college or to pursue careers. I have met some amazing teachers who have changed my life but I don't look back on my high school fondly. I am ready to move on with this new phase of my life with going to college and leave Grand Haven behind.

Grand haven high school has its charms and its faults in general it is a nice school I believe my education was thorough and that they helped me along nicely into getting ready for collage. However the complaints I have are very little it mostly has to do with there phone policy and them not making up there mind on one but as well as the school lunches which are a hit or miss but the hit side is pretty good especially since you could just get a customized sub if you don't want the hot lunch.

In our experience with this school, we've received more pushback for our child's safety and health than I could have ever imagined. They really are all about the image of the school, and nothing more. Your kids are not their priority.

As a 2018 graduate of ghhs, I would not recommend enrolling your child here if you are looking for a healthy and comfortable learning environment. There are a vast majority of teachers who are truly amazing and care about the well being and quality of learning students receive, and they deserve that...

Ineffective administration, excessive punishments for students outside the parameters of being straight, white, or cisgender. Teachers may frequently go out of their way to single out and publicly humiliate students and face absolutely no consequences. While other teachers may be kind, inclusive, an...
